EXHIBIT 1.2 Long Intel call vs. long Intel stock.
|
||||
The thin dotted line represents owning 100 shares of Intel at $22.25.
|
||||
Profits are unlimited, but the risk is substantial—the stock can go to zero.
|
||||
Herein lies the trade-off. The long call has unlimited profit potential with
|
||||
limited risk. Whenever an option is purchased, the most that can be lost is
|
||||
the premium paid for the option. But the benefit of reduced risk comes at a
|
||||
cost. If the stock is above the strike at expiration, the call will always
|
||||
underperform the stock by the amount of the premium.
|
||||
Because of this trade-off, conservative traders will sometimes buy a call
|
||||
rather than the associated stock and sometimes buy the stock rather than the
|
||||
call. Buying a call can be considered more conservative when the volatility
|
||||
of the stock is expected to rise. Traders are willing to risk a comparatively
|
||||
small premium when a large price decline is feared possible. Instead, in an
|
||||
interest-bearing vehicle, they harbor the capital that would otherwise have
|
||||
been used to purchase the stock. The cost of this protection is acceptable to
|
||||
the trader if high-enough price advances are anticipated. In terms of
|
||||
percentage, much higher returns and losses are possible with the long call.
|
||||
If the stock is trading at $27 at expiration, as the trader in this example
|
||||
expected, the trader reaps a 429 percent profit on the $0.85 investment
